End-of-life (EOL) software planning for digital agencies

What is EOL software?

Software which is no longer maintained is said to be end-of-life (EOL). When EOL dates expire, security vulnerabilities are no longer fixed and upgrades become harder than they need to be.

But agencies using best practice and which plan ahead:

  • mitigate risk
  • strengthen revenue
  • reduce churn

Why EOL software breaks delivery pipelines

Agencies with EOL blindspots can't easily plan which means last minute scrambles can seem like groundhog day and customer trust slips a little each time.
